Haiti loses 0-1 to Trinidad in CFU U-17 Women final
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – A late first-half goal by Summer Arjoon was all Trinidad & Tobago needed to defeat host Haiti 1-0 in final of the Caribbean Football Union Women’s Under-17 Tournament on Sunday at the Stade Sylvio Cator.
The much-anticipated encounter was played before a crowd of 6,800 spectators, braving inclement weather to witness history as a Caribbean champion in this age group was crowned for the first time.
The home supporters gave Haitians a lift from the opening whistle, while the Trinidadians did well to absorb the early pressure. It was clear that the young Soca Princesses would place special focus on limiting the attacking duo of Batcheba Louis and Isnada Lebrun, who combined to 26 of Haiti’s 32 goals in the competition.
The first half was largely played to a stalemate, but it shifted in Trinidad’s favor five minutes before the break. After eluding a challenge, midielder Chevonne John maintained her balance and found teammate Zoe Swift. The 16-year-old fed Arjoon in the penalty area and she beat goalkeeper Jonie Gabriel for a 1-0 lead.
Haiti stepped up its attack in the second half, nearly leveling in the 55th minute. Sherly Jeudy struck a well-paced effort that looked destined for the back of the net, before it was pushed over the crossbar by Trinidad goalkeeper Nicolette Craig.

Haiti downs USVI to book place in 2013 Caribbean Football Union U-17 semis
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – Batcheba Louis scored 11 goals as host Haiti posted a 22-0 victory over the U.S. Virgin Islands on Sunday in the 2013 Caribbean Football Union Women's Under-17 Tournament finals.
A crowd of 2,000 watched the Group A encounter at the Stade Sylvio Cator, which saw the home side clinch a place in the tournament’s semifinals.
Earlier in the day, Puerto Rico defeated Antigua 5-0 to seal the group’s other berth in the knockout phase. The table toppers will square off on Tuesday to decide the top two places in the table.
Louis opened the scoring in the sixth minute and added four more before the referee blew her whistle to end the half with the score 14-0. Prior to that, though, Isnada Lebrun struck for five of her six goals.
After converting a penalty kick in the 54th minute, Louis remained on the offensive, tallying five more times from the 60th minute through stoppage time.
